Once you try this natural paste, you’ll never buy expensive and ineffective commercial toothpastes again.
There are various ayurvedic toothpastes on the market, but this one is the most effective of them. And moreover you don’t even have to buy it, because you can make it yourself at home.
What makes this homemade toothpaste better than commercial ones?
It contains a substance called neem, which is scientifically known as Azadirachta indica or in Czech Zeder indický.
This substance not only effectively treats gum problems (inflamed or receding gums), but can partially repair small tooth cavities and also strengthens tooth enamel.
In addition, it is antibacterial, thanks to ingredients such as baking soda and coconut oil.
Another advantage of this paste is that it does not contain toxic fluoride, which is added to almost every commercial toothpaste today.
Although fluoride is said to strengthen tooth enamel, in reality it creates more problems than it solves.
It is actually a strong poison that, when swallowed, accumulates in the body, mainly in bones and teeth, and can cause increased brittleness, dental fluorosis (spotted teeth), and sometimes even leads to bone cancer.
All the ingredients needed to make this purely natural and safe toothpaste are commonly available and its preparation is quick and simple.
Recipe for homemade toothpaste
For making it you will need the following ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons of baking soda
- 1 tablespoon of powdered neem (Zeder indický) (you can buy it in organic food stores, health food stores, or online shops)
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil
- 15 drops of peppermint essential oil (optional for a menthol flavor)
Preparation
In a suitable container, mix all the ingredients until you form a homogeneous paste.
Coconut oil can solidify at temperatures below 24 ° C, so melt it before mixing so it blends more easily.
After mixing, store the paste in a glass sealable container.
Usage
Use this homemade paste to brush your teeth the same way you use regular toothpaste.
You will achieve the best results if you brush your teeth with it 3 times a day – your teeth will be whiter, your gums healthier, and early small cavities will remineralize and thus heal.
